BONUS EPISODE! Jen & Harper's 2025 Words of the Year

Salon Confessions Podcast ·

2025/01/12

Each year for many years, Jen and Harper have chosen a word of the year to help guide and direct our mindset for the year ahead. Choosing a word of the year is different than making a resolution. We are not about the “new year, new me” attitude that is so quick to fail. A word of the year is intentionally open to interpretation, and helps guide our thoughts, actions, and beliefs. In years past, Jen and Harper have chosen words like Abundance, Joy, Adventure, and Hope, and last year Jen chose

Women’s Bodies: Why the HELL is This Still A Mystery?

Salon Confessions Podcast ·

2024/12/14

With the war that is raging over healthcare and women’s rights to have agency over the private choices that they make with their healthcare providers, we realize that our listeners want to talk about these issues more. Women of all ages are frustrated and outraged at the lack of care, the cost of care, and the poor quality of care. Even more than that, the research and education on women’s biology and physiology - how our bodies actually function - has been atrociously underfunded, leaving us

Salon Confessions Podcast ·

2024/12/06

A few weeks ago Jen and Harper kicked off a sub-series called “Jen and Harper Try it Out.” In our Try it Out Series, we give things a try that you might see ads for on social media that look really interesting but you aren’t sure whether they will be worth it or not. It might be a new kind of medspa treatment, or self-care, or unique therapy or experience. Harper recently saw a BOGO ad for a Float Spa on Facebook and clicked "buy now!" so she and Jen could do another one of these Jen & Harper

2024/11/22

Because we share a lot of very personal and intimate confessions on this show, we’ve chosen to keep our names and faces confidential, so you probably don’t know that Jen is a curly red head, and Harper is a long-haired wavy blondy-brown-silvery head. We both recently entered our 50s and talk a lot about the aging process on this show, but one thing we haven’t talked a lot about is the great debate - “to dye, or not to dye.” As in, our hair color.Harper stopped coloring her hair several years ago

Time to Spill the [Teal] on The Forever Date

Salon Confessions Podcast ·

2024/11/01

Back in Season 2, we did an episode called “Drive Thru Pie: The Fine Art of Dating Your Spouse” and it is one of our top 10 episodes. During that episode, I referenced a couple I know that does a monthly date day, and during the pandemic when we were all stuck inside, their date day was building a blanket fort inside their house and getting a bunch of craft supplies and making little plant terrariums together inside the blanket fort. I thought it was one of the most charming ideas I’d ever seen! My

Friends by Choice, Family by Chance

In this world of precious relationships, there is one very special category that stands on its own, and that is the family members that we choose as friends. These are the ones who you call or text after a bad day or when you have a ridiculous story to tell. But these are also the people who know your origin story because they were there with you. Your sibling, your cousin, maybe an aunt or an in-law or step-relative that has become a vital part of your inner circle, and without whom your world

Today, we are talking about pronouns. Jen and Harper have a diverse circle of family and friends from all kinds of backgrounds. We have a core belief that inclusion matters, and we stand allied with marginalized and underrepresented people across race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, gender identity, and the many other ways that people choose to identify themselves. As allies, we are on board with using whatever pronouns a person wants to use, and support all efforts towards

In each episode of this podcast Harper goes to Jen’s nail studio, affectionately called “The Confessional” and we talk about health, beauty, and relationship topics that we think need to be more out in the open and widely discussed. These are the things we often carry shame or fear about bringing up with others, but when we do, it’s better for everyone! We learn from one another, we externalize the stories we hold in secret and find that in reality, others have similar experiences and they are

Laurie's Story: Menopause and Incontinence

One of Jen’s good friends and clients is Laurie. And as Jen and Laurie were discussing menopause-related issues, Laurie shared her story about incontinence.We always assumed that age-related incontinence was mostly due to going through childbirth, and was a separate issue from hormonal changes. Laurie really educated us about why that isn’t the case at all. In fact, stress-incontinence can be directly connected to decreased estrogen and other hormone levels in our bodies, which dry out our
